Supported data types for table fields.

This enum defines all field types that can be encoded/decoded from Total War database tables. Each variant corresponds to a specific binary representation in the game files.

Basic Types

• Boolean: 1-byte boolean value
• Integers: Signed integers of various sizes (I16, I32, I64)
• Floats: Floating-point numbers (F32, F64)
• Strings: Length-prefixed strings with u8 or u16 length markers

Optional Types

Optional types use a 1-byte flag followed by the value if present:

• OptionalI16, OptionalI32, OptionalI64: Optional integers
• OptionalStringU8, OptionalStringU16: Optional strings

Complex Types

• ColourRGB: 6-character hexadecimal RGB colour (e.g., “FF0000” for red)
• SequenceU16, SequenceU32: Arrays with u16 or u32 length prefix

Sequences

Sequence types contain a nested Definition that describes the structure of each array element. The length prefix determines how many elements follow.

Variants

Boolean

1-byte boolean value (0 = false, 1 = true).

F32

32-bit floating-point number.

F64

64-bit floating-point number.

I16

16-bit signed integer.

I32

32-bit signed integer.

I64

64-bit signed integer.

ColourRGB

RGB colour as a 6-character hexadecimal string (e.g., “FF0000”).

StringU8

UTF-8 encoded string with u16 length prefix (max 65535 bytes).

StringU16

UTF-16 encoded string with u16 length prefix (max 65535 characters).

OptionalI16

Optional 16-bit signed integer (1-byte flag + value if present).

OptionalI32

Optional 32-bit signed integer (1-byte flag + value if present).

OptionalI64

Optional 64-bit signed integer (1-byte flag + value if present).

OptionalStringU8

Optional UTF-8 encoded string (1-byte flag + u16 length prefix + string if present).

OptionalStringU16

Optional UTF-16 encoded string (1-byte flag + u16 length prefix + string if present).

SequenceU16(Box<Definition>)

Array with u16 element count followed by elements matching the nested definition.

SequenceU32(Box<Definition>)

Array with u32 element count followed by elements matching the nested definition.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for FieldType

fn clone(&self) -> FieldType

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for FieldType

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for FieldType

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Display for FieldType

Display implementation of FieldType.

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl From<&DecodedData> for FieldType

Implementation of From<&RawDefinition> for `Definition.

fn from(data: &DecodedData) -> Self

Converts to this type from the input type.

impl PartialEq for FieldType

fn eq(&self, other: &FieldType) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for FieldType

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.

impl Eq for FieldType

impl StructuralPartialEq for FieldType
